Container clearance times
We have just been told by our shippers that our container
will be leaving UK 20/06/2004 and arriving in Brisbane
24/07/2004.
What is the average time for a container to pass through customs,
ie when could we realistically expect to have our container?
If anyone can give me a rough idea I'd be really grateful.
Thanks Karen

Karen, just ask your shipper for the door to door delivery time in weeks

We got lucky on two counts; neither customs nor our delivery company dragged their feet with our shipment.
From ship arriving in port to delivery to our door took just 7 days.
Unfortunately there are occasions reported on here where some have had to wait weeks. Then of course you open your shipment to see what's damaged .... :scared:
